An American girl came up with a new idea to establish a project, where she decided to professionally choose perfect baby names and help wealthy parents to do so, sometimes for up to 10 thousand dollars.
According to The New Yorker, the girl, Taylor Humphrey, from New York City, USA, founded her own baby naming consultancy, What’s In A Baby Name.
Baby naming specialist started her passion in 2015 by sharing her favorite names and their meanings online, and at the time she was giving free advice on choosing baby names.

Taylor then turned that passion into a business, where she now receives up to 3 clients per month.
The site indicated that Humphrey, aged 33, chooses the ideal name for each newborn to be suitable for the parents, as she relies on choosing the names on the parents’ work specifications, cultural values and aspirations.
He added that Humphrey has already helped parents name more than 100 children over the past year, and also advises parents when choosing names.
The site notes that Humphrey, who also works as the women’s birth companion, uses several methods to find unique names, such as looking at street signs and watching movies for inspiration.

It also checks trending names for common names in the Social Security database, looking for those names that are dropping in popularity due to their negative connotations.
According to the site, Humphrey believes that 4-letter names became popular 10 years ago due to the boom in electronic applications, and that longer letters flourished in the past, when people could spend more free time.
The site stated that Humphrey earned up to $150,000 from choosing children’s names, pointing out that she gets 1,500 dollars for the name and sometimes wealthy parents pay $10,000 to choose the perfect and flawless name.
